Nashville and Middle Tennessee are in a good position to plan for growth but need to adapt to "huge" demographic shifts and an economy that's still in transition, an expert on metropolitan areas plans to say in a speech here tonight.

Amy Liu, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and co-director of its Metropolitan Policy Program, will wrap up the speaker series for Nashville­Next, Metro government's effort to plan for growth over the next 25 years. She's set to speak at 5:30 p.m. at Nashville Children's Theatre, 25 Middleton St.
